What’s the difference between working in industry vs PA as an internal auditor? Does industry have billable hours?

Associates: what is your monthly billable goal? Just trying to figure out what's reasonable 🤔 (my firm is production based, effective rate is ever-changing, and workflow is cyclical)

It is January 1, 2023 and you are closing you December time. You realize that you missed your annual bonus target of 2,000hrs by 1hr of billable time. Your firm has made it clear that you won’t get any bonus if you don’t hit the minimum. What, if anything, are you going to do?

Does anyone have any insight into billable hours and associate salaries at Ballard Spahr in Minneapolis? I've got 4 years of experience, graduated in 2018.

How many billable hours do you average per week?

Did the billable hours bonus not get paid out today? Or is it to be paid in the next check?

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

Who is your employer and what is the required billable hours in this tax season?

I heard so much about minimum billable hours here by staff. I never saw that email. Is it inly for certain groups?

What's up everyone? I saw a salary survey posted earlier. What do y'all think I should make at a litigation boutique that handles primarily business litigation on a contingency fee? No billable hours.

Any intel on the following NYC finance/banking groups? E.g. billable hours, friendliness/culture, experience opposite them in deals.

My firm is hiring. 12 attorney firm in the central coast. Above market comp, 1500 billable hours, great team and culture. Looking for business/civil litigators and general business attorneys

I particularly don't want to work in this last week of the year because I want the billable hours to count towards 2022.

Could someone explain the difference between a firm policy that sets a specific amount of paid vacation time for associates versus a firm policy that has unlimited vacation time? Specifically with respect to how this impacts billable requirements. Thank you!

Is it possible to work in tax while only working 40-45 hours per week? I like tax and learning about it, but I cannot keep up with the billable hours and constantly being in busy season.

Does anyone have experience working for a ALSP? How does compensation work (pay and benefits)? Are you an employee or technically an IC? Do you have billable requirements like at a firm?

I have an interview with a company on Thursday and after reading the Glassdoor reviews I am nervous it’s not a good workplace. How serious do you take those when interviewing? A lot of the reviews are old reviews but they all sort of say there is poor management which worries me.

So I met up with an old friend of mine and she is not working at the moment. She was a senior level auditor.

Anyone shifted from external audit to an internal enabling role? How did you find it? I really love the technical aspect of audit and I worry I’ll struggle in a non-technical role.

As a new manager (~1/2 year in), I still find myself deferring a lot to partners. For example, “here’s what I think but let’s confirm with (partner/md)”. Not all the time, but often enough to notice. @Is this something I should be doing? Does it matter?
